THE TARIFF ON LEAD.

A well defined fear prevails that
an effort will be made, during the
present session of congress, to place
lead on the free list. Such step
would result in paralyzing the min
ing industry of Idaho, and in COM
mon with the people of the adjoin-
ing states and territories steps
should be Immediately taken to pro-
test against any interference with
the present duty imposed upon for
eign lead. The Salt Lake Chamber
of Commerce has taken the initat-
i've In the matter, fully alive to the
threatened danger. and has called
public meeting in that city, next
Monday, to consider what measures
may be necessary to prevent con-
gress from placing lead on the free
list. "A circular letter has been

James Whitfield, alias Randolph Whit

ted TO Jail last night by Justice
Waring Russell, Jr., for assault
with intent to murder. Whitfield

Vhe trair had just passed the station
when bullet wbizzed through the win
dow of the smoking car close to negro
woman, who was sitting next to the win
dow. 1t was the third or fourth time
that the train had been fired into and the
railway officials offered reward for the
arrest of the parties who did the shoot
ing.
detective G. B. Boyd, of Vaudeville. S.
c., began working up the case. Two ne.
grOes, James Whitfield and Ammou Whit
field, were suspected of the shooting and
warrants for their arrest were issued
by Justice W. N. Hey ward, OF Har-
deeville. The negroes are brothers.
One OF them Is section hand
on the railroad, and the other is employed
by Gayuor & Green on the government
tective Boyd also swore out warrants be-
fore Justice Russell, of Savannah. He
was pretty sure that one OF the Whtfelds

by Justice Russell at the Jail at s O'Clock
last night. The two WhitHelds were
securely handcuffed and brought out OF
their cells.
Small, the witness whom Detective
Boyd brought over from Vaudeville,
pointed TO James, the smaller of The two,
and said: "That Is the man who said, Il
shot once and I'll do it again." The
other prisoner, he said. he never saw be-
fore. Small told a ram bling story OF how
he once heard Whitfield and halt a
dozen other negroes, among them Sandy
Jones and James Scott, talking and what
Whitfield said.
Detective Boyd stated that he has posi-
tive proof that Whitfield is the party W no
did the shooting, and, on this evidence,
Justice Russell committed MIN 10 await
the action of the grand jury, which meets
April 6. The other prisoner was dis.
charged. Whitfield denies the charge
against him, and says that he can prove
where he was oC the night the shooting
took place. Small, he says. he never saw
before, and he intimated that his brother
whom he said took care OF his tamil v
while he was serving out sentence in
the Carolina penitentiary, was the eau Sc
OF his arrest.
The Justice stated that while there is
no direct proof OF Whittield's guilt the
evidence was sufficient to demand his
commitment.

ards train on Feb, 10.

He is Likely TO be Reappointed SUI
peryising Inspector.

perylSiug Inspector.
1t is stated that James Curran is likely
to be reappointed Supervising Inspector
OF Hulls for this district. He was twice
appointed and mis- nomination sent TO the
Senate, but each time the nomination was
held up in the Commerce Committee, so
the Senate had no opportunity TO act upon
it. Senator German has hitherto OPP
posed the appointment of Curran. After
the adjournment OF Congress last
year the nomination having, as at
the recent session, been hung up IN
the committee, Senator German did his
best to prevent the reappointment OF Cur
ran, but in spite OF the Senator's protest
the President made the appointment.
Senator Germans opposition, it is under
stood, grew out OF Curran's refusal to
make some change of his snbordinates
that the Senator recommended. The
Senator did not attack the character or
capacity OF Mr.. Curran. In making the
reappOintment last year the President
carried out the wishes of the Treasury
officials, who sustained Mir. Curran, and
as his superiOrs still sustain him the pre-
sumption is that he will be reappointed.
